What is your current directory when you run
nmake ... -f ...xemacs.mak?
What is the exact command line you use?
When I try to reproduce this, nmake fails very early[1], not being able
to find ..\version.sh.
Why doesn't this happen for you?

Yep. uncalled for. I think someone else complained about same thing with
less offensiveness a week earlier.
What is your current directory when you run

nt subdirectory
What is the exact command line you use?
nmake install -f xemacs.mak

Ohh, I must have been in a seriously bad mood that night, but for other
reasons. Time to start saving to draft and re-reading the next day
before hitting the send button.
Actually, I was thinking that a patch would be either:
1)The config script has a macro FULL_XEMACS_SRC path
2)Have the makefile figure it out.
One problem I'm having is trying to figure out the equivilent of 'pwd'
in NT or how to fake it.
The true crux of the problem is that you need to quote programs with
spaces in the name or path. When the macro $(FOO) is "..\With
Space\i.exe", then adding judicical ..\ (like so: ..\$(FOO)) won't
work; you get ..\"..\With Space\i.exe".
Come to think of it, FULL_XEMACS_SRC may not work either. If the
definition is like "C:\With Spaces\xemacs". then you have the same
problem adding subdirs to the front as adding ..\ to the rear - they get
added outside the quotes.
So, to answer my own question, it can be very difficult to replace
XEMACS=..
Any one have any crow? Or an old hat they don't need? I just got rather
hungry.

Hmmh? Why do you get a problem when running nmake from the nt
directory. I am lost.

For now I have commited a patch which allows building from the nt
directory only.
http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs-patches/200010/msg00027.html
Otherwise nmake fails and tells user to run it from the directory
where xemacs.mak is located.
Is that acceptable?
Best regards,
Adrian
